The group of girls was dressed beautifully, and they all looked like young ladies of wealthy families. They were clad in designer brands from head to toe and they were all dressed up fashionably and charmingly. However… a quick glance at their gazes, and it was apparent that they do not come in peace.
At this moment, Lin Qingqing wants nothing more than to rip me apart. How could she possibly recommend potential clients to me? They are all here to cause trouble, but I can’t just chase them out. Hence, Han Muzi had no choice but to flash them a bright smile. “Why would I mind since you’re bringing me business, Miss Lin?”
Han Muzi smiled and instructed Yan to lead them to the lounge, then explained that she would be there soon.
As such, Yan led the group to the lounge, whereas Han Muzi returned to her office. She picked up some documents and introduction booklets. However, Han Muzi recalled Lin Qingqing’s devious look earlier, and she just had to phone Ye Moxuan.
“I see you are finally taking the initiative to phone me. How may I help you?” Ye Moxuan asked teasingly.
Han Muzi asked in an icy tone, “Have you handled the issue? Is this your way of handling the problem?”
Ye Moxuan was stunned to silence on the other end of the line. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes dangerously while asking, “What do you mean?”
“She brought a group of people to my office. Ye Moxuan, were you solving the problem, or were you provoking her?”
Ye Moxuan was at a loss for words. After a while, he smirked. “Ha! Such persistence! In that case, wait for me.”
“Wait for you?”
“Wait for me to come over.”
Click! Ye Moxuan hung up straight away, as if afraid that she might reject him.
Upon hearing that he was coming over, Han Muzi felt relieved somehow. In all honesty, I did not want to ask Ye Moxuan for help. However, I feel that Lin Qingqing is targeting me due to Ye Moxuan. Besides, I’ve never taken the initiative to approach him, so I refuse to take the fall for this. It’s best to let Ye Moxuan solve this issue in person. It doesn’t matter how they want to resolve it as long as I’m not dragged into it.
After pocketing her phone, Han Muzi made her way to the lounge. When she arrived at the door, Han Muzi heard the clinking sounds of china hitting the floor followed by a shriek of surprise and someone scolding loudly, “Are you blind? How dare you spill coffee on me?! Did you do that on purpose?”
Smack! When Han Muzi arrived at the door, she happened to see one of the women slapping Yan across her face.
She was too fast, and Yan wasn’t expecting it. Hence, after the slap, Yan stood rooted to the spot in shock.
Han Muzi’s expression soured immediately, and she marched forward. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Yan snapped back to her senses at Han Muzi’s voice. She was either extremely angry after the slap or she thought that Lin Qingqing brought them over to cause trouble, so she acted boldly and decisively by splashing the remaining coffee in the cup at that woman.
“Argh!!!” That woman shrieked, “Are you insane? How dare you actually splash coffee on me?!”
Yan stood there while staring at her with an evil gleam in her eyes. She then cackled mirthlessly, “Weren’t you accusing me of splashing coffee over you? Shouldn’t I commit the actual crime in order for your slap to be worth it?” Then, Yan threw the cup at the woman’s feet. “Do you really think that I’m an easy target? How dare you slap me?!” With that, Yan rolled her sleeves up as if she was ready to rush over for a fight.
The group of women was here to make a scene, but they weren’t expecting Yan to actually fight back. Thus, they were all dumbfounded.
Han Muzi was stumped as well, but she quickly approved of Yan’s methods.
“You all went overboard!” The woman, who had coffee splashed on her, started crying. On the other hand, Lin Qingqing’s expression soured as well. She pointed at Han Muzi and scolded at the top of her voice, “Han Muzi, what’s the meaning of this? Is this how you treat your clients? I was kind enough to recommend clients to you, but here you are mistreating them!”
“Did you say you were kind enough to recommend clients to me?” Before Han Muzi could reply to her, Yan charged at her furiously. “How dare you! I served you coffee, and what did you do? You tripped me on purpose, causing me to spill the coffee. Then, you took the chance and accused me. However, you weren’t expecting this, were you? I am not an easy target for you bullies!”
Lin Qingqing did not expect her to be so fierce and bold, so she screamed aloud, “Great! Forget the fact that you refuse to apologize after splashing coffee on her. How dare you twist the truth! I’ll post this on the Internet stating that your company has horrible customer service, so don’t dream of continuing your operations in North City!” With that, Lin Qingqing took her phone out.
Yan looked shocked when she saw that. “You wouldn’t dare!”
Lin Qingqing smirked at her. “Why wouldn’t I?”
“There is really nothing you wouldn’t dare to do,” commented Han Muzi who was observing the chaos with a steely stare. After that, she turned around to face Yan. “Are you alright? Did they hurt you at all?”
Yan was stunned earlier, and after the initial shock wore off, she started bawling. “Yes! They kicked my leg just now, and they even accused me of splashing coffee on them. Not to mention they even slapped me!” She covered her red and swollen cheek after saying that. “Muzi, they aren’t here as clients! They are here to cause trouble on purpose.”
“On purpose?” Han Muzi’s eyes darkened. Then, she took out her phone in front of Lin Qingqing with a faint smile. “In that case, let’s call some reporters. We shall let them see what’s happening in reality. I am confident the reporters would be more than willing to show up.” Han Muzi pondered before making a remark, “I’m wondering which reporter I should call. After all, I’ve been rather popular online lately as well. In that case…”
“Han Muzi, what are you trying to do?” Lin Qingqing lost her cool when she heard that and screamed at Han Muzi in frustration.
Upon hearing that, Han Muzi turned to glance at her. “Miss Lin, what is the matter? Didn’t you say that you wanted to post the news online? Since you are posting that, I can’t possibly be left behind. Besides, a staff member from my company has been wronged, so it’s only natural for me to stand on her side. In North City, we, the Han Family, have never been afraid of any forces, and that includes all of you.”
The color drained from Lin Qingqing’s face. She bit her lower lip hard while staring at the calm, beautiful, and delicate-looking woman with a strong presence. She was confident, and that was why she was calm; her calm façade accentuated her steadiness as well.It was also due to her steadiness that made Lin Qingqing look especially sinister in comparison.
The gentle and courteous Young Miss had morphed into a shrew now. Lin Qingqing realized with a start that she made a grave mistake by coming over today. Even if I wouldn’t let this woman off the hook, I shouldn’t have jeopardized my reputation.
“What do you say? Why don’t we call for backup together?” Han Muzi brandished her phone. “Shall we?”
Lin Qingqing’s face was ghastly pale as she stared at Han Muzi. “You are threatening me. Do you truly think that the Lin Family is afraid of the Han Family?”
Since she brought the Han Family’s reputation into the picture, Han Muzi had no problem riding the wave for a tad longer. Hence, she smiled provocatively. “Why don’t we find out?”
“You!” Lin Qingqing was starting to be afraid now. Although my family has some power in North City, we don’t stand a chance at all if we were to go against the Han Family head-on. Besides, Ye Moxuan is on this woman’s side. If those two families were to combine strengths, our Lin Family would be wiped out.
